The Federal Communications Commission approved the policy known as net neutrality by a 3-2 vote at its Thursday meeting, with FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler saying the policy will ensure "that no one — whether government or corporate — should control free open access to the Internet."
Hope you and Golf enjoy it, me I am old and want probably be using a computer much when it is all said and done,

By then, you won't need a computer. They will just need you to come in for some sort of mandatory "vaccine" to get you properly implanted into the Matrix.
They did that to my group in elementary schoool back in the 50's

Fuck the other timezones.  Good afternoon, Sam.
Tony's just hostile because he had to have a salad for lunch.
Nonsense.  I CHOSE to have a salad.  Conscious choice.
Tony's just hostile because he chose to have a salad for lunch.
LOL!  Exactly.

Morning RAZ
Morning, Tex. A friend of mine tried to tempt me last night with some firearms he's selling. The Glock 29 and Sig 227 have my attention. The Springfield SOCOM would too, except I don't have the necessary $3K.
If just  the 3 of those are used and $3k then no reason to be too  tempted.   The G-29 is a bear to handle, lot of horsepower to ride with a little saddle, if you have never popped off a 10mm it is a big blast.  I got a G-20 and would not want anything smaller with a 10mm unless using light ammo but that pretty much defeats the entire purpose.  G29 also is a fat gun for small hands unless it is an SF version.  SOCOM is a cool piece but unless it is pretty tricked out only a $1500-1600 gun new in the box.    Also for real use there is lots better stuff, FN 308 being one of them at around $1200 new.  Some new AR platform 308's too but you do like the "old school" and socom definitely fills that void nicely.   P227 is very nice and comes in two versions tacops and regular.  Regular is a $850 gun new in the box tacops about a grand or a little less.  Downside they are only 10 rounds I think and why buy a modern 10 rd gun when nice options are available with way more.......  Again FN - FNX 45 will shoot circles around that P-27 at around $600 or $1050 for the tactical model but heavier and bigger.  There that is my 2 cents worth and nothing more, it is all about what feels good to you as none of them are bad guns whatsoever.
The SOCOM is a SOCOM II, pretty tricked out, Eotech sight, bipod, bunch of mags, etc.  But yeah, his ask is too high - he's expecting a counteroffer.  The 227 is cool, but I've already got a .45, and would prefer a .40.  The 10mm is a notion I keep entertaining for a backpacking gun, but still think I'd be better served with .44 Mag for that.  Think I'll stick with the plan for now.  Glock 23 for next purchase.
Full Size 10mm glock loaded up with the newer Buffalo Bore Hard Cast Bullets is a major bone crusher and got 15 of them in it.  Not that I am not a .44 mag fan though!  Smith 460 might be the actual cats meow it shoots al sorts of bullets.
Until I start spending time in Kodiak country, the 460 is just too much of everything.  Here I'm gonna see Black bears, and if I see a Brown it will be a very, very rare occasion.  I'm a pretty good shot and I'm pretty good under pressure, so I could probably be fine with a .357.  But a 10mm or .44 Magnum offers the extra margin, while still being carryable.

Truth be told, I'm more likely to come up against a Cougar (the four-legged kind) than a bear, but cougs are a damned sight easier to kill than bears.

And I still plan on getting a .45-70 rifle anyway.
Cool thing about the .460 S&W it will shoot .45 long colt and .454 Casull also.

Sure, Tx. Just throw you Guns & Ammo article back in the mix. Bret's getting therapy... hope they work on his leg a little too.  ;)
So does he, I'm sure.
I am older than Bret and I am the one trying to get him into at least the 20th centruy firearms much less the 21st.

Does the 460 come in s 4" bbl?

As for my age group, today I'm three months from fifty. So...no, bipedal cougars no longer have interest in me.

I am a few months longer than that to being 12 years older than you.  I am damn near DAD's AGe!   Short Stack Where Are You I need Help Now!

Stainless S&W 460 comes in 3-5/8", 6", 7-1/2", 8-3/8" and 10-1/2".     I have a 4" .44 Mountain Gun and I ain't sure I would want to hold and pull the trigger at the same time on that 3-5/8 with anything but the 45 long colt in it. :)

Well, look at it this way. My dad's 18 years older than me. So you're only technically old enough to be my dad.

Full Size 10mm glock loaded up with the newer Buffalo Bore Hard Cast Bullets is a major bone crusher and got 15 of them in it.  Not that I am not a .44 mag fan though!  Smith 460 might be the actual cats meow it shoots al sorts of bullets.
Until I start spending time in Kodiak country, the 460 is just too much of everything.  Here I'm gonna see Black bears, and if I see a Brown it will be a very, very rare occasion.  I'm a pretty good shot and I'm pretty good under pressure, so I could probably be fine with a .357.  But a 10mm or .44 Magnum offers the extra margin, while still being carryable.

Truth be told, I'm more likely to come up against a Cougar (the four-legged kind) than a bear, but cougs are a damned sight easier to kill than bears.

And I still plan on getting a .45-70 rifle anyway.
Cool thing about the .460 S&W it will shoot .45 long colt and .454 Casull also.   I don't think the 2-legged Cougars name applies to your age group..
Does the 460 come in s 4" bbl?

As for my age group, today I'm three months from fifty. So...no, bipedal cougars no longer have interest in me.
I am a few months longer than that to being 12 years older than you.  I am damn near DAD's AGe!   Short Stack Where Are You I need Help Now!
Well, look at it this way. My dad's 18 years older than me. So you're only technically old enough to be my dad.
Well don't get any ideas, I ain't sending you no child support!

Morning RAZ
Morning, Tex. A friend of mine tried to tempt me last night with some firearms he's selling. The Glock 29 and Sig 227 have my attention. The Springfield SOCOM would too, except I don't have the necessary $3K.
If just  the 3 of those are used and $3k then no reason to be too  tempted.   The G-29 is a bear to handle, lot of horsepower to ride with a little saddle, if you have never popped off a 10mm it is a big blast.  I got a G-20 and would not want anything smaller with a 10mm unless using light ammo but that pretty much defeats the entire purpose.  G29 also is a fat gun for small hands unless it is an SF version.  SOCOM is a cool piece but unless it is pretty tricked out only a $1500-1600 gun new in the box.    Also for real use there is lots better stuff, FN 308 being one of them at around $1200 new.  Some new AR platform 308's too but you do like the "old school" and socom definitely fills that void nicely.   P227 is very nice and comes in two versions tacops and regular.  Regular is a $850 gun new in the box tacops about a grand or a little less.  Downside they are only 10 rounds I think and why buy a modern 10 rd gun when nice options are available with way more.......  Again FN - FNX 45 will shoot circles around that P-27 at around $600 or $1050 for the tactical model but heavier and bigger.  There that is my 2 cents worth and nothing more, it is all about what feels good to you as none of them are bad guns whatsoever.
The SOCOM is a SOCOM II, pretty tricked out, Eotech sight, bipod, bunch of mags, etc.  But yeah, his ask is too high - he's expecting a counteroffer.  The 227 is cool, but I've already got a .45, and would prefer a .40.  The 10mm is a notion I keep entertaining for a backpacking gun, but still think I'd be better served with .44 Mag for that.  Think I'll stick with the plan for now.  Glock 23 for next purchase.

Not even an issue. Mom always said you couldn't close the deal.
